Do you like this story?

I'm seeing an awful lot of traffic here lately from people looking for information on Kijiji paypal scams. People are thankfully suspicious enough about the people offering to buy their stuff that they search the names of the senders. They end up hear learning about the fraud they just avoided.

If you get an email from a Lisa Macedo, or a Mary Cole, or Julie Chen or any of the other made-up names offering to buy your item without seeing it, asking you to ship it because they're in a foreign place and can't see what you're selling, it IS a scam.

I'm not saying it might be a scam or that you should proceed with caution. I'm saying it's a fraud, it's baloney, it's entirely bogus and you should absolutely not proceed.

"Thanks for the response Does it need anything to be replace or repair?if theirs please specify,i will take it for the listed price,Payment will be sent using PayPal and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well.I will arrange with someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i am out of town at the moment. I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too,since i won't be be able to see this in person,what's the PayPal email to send funds to in order for me to pay you ASAP. "

If you landed here because you searched for any of the text above: congratulations. You're the target of fraud.

You might also get a Paypal offer by text message for your Kijiji listing. Be smart. Don't fall for it.

Remember: Deal in person. Deal locally. Use cash.

Understand? If you ship to someone you don't know without having real cash money in your hand, you are a fool. Don't do it. These scams are easy to avoid. Avoid them.

Thanks for the prompt response.I'm Okay with the condition of the Bike,as i have already go through it on the ad but just trying to makelittle inquiry from you, I'm ready to buy it now as a gift for myDaughter, I'm at sea at the moment as I'm a Navy Officer,and due tothe nature of my Job.....phone calls making and visiting of websiteare restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and sendyou a Text regarding it. I really want it to be a surprise for myDaughter i won't let her know anything about it until it getsdelivered to her, i am sure she will be more than happy with it. Iinsisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank accountonline as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypalaccount, as i have my bank a/c attached to it,Get back to me with yourpaypal email and the price so i can proceed with the payment quickly,and sorry if you don't have an Account, you sign-up for a paypalpersonal account www.paypal.com, it is very fast and easy to set up.And there is a shipping company pick up agent that will come for thepick up after the payment has been sorted out.

Hey all. Please add Emily Syntire to the list of names to watch for. I am currently having an email discussion insisting I use paypal. I keep refusing. Then I did a search and found this site. I have received an email WORD FOR WORD, even the same spelling mistakes as mentioned above in the messages you might get. Obviously the same person. I have reported the email, but unfortunately, this will not catch the bastard. All we can do is let others know. Again, the name EMILY SYNTIRE. Be careful.

Also received an email from esyntire@gmail.com ... spider senses were up since this person has not even seen the boat I am selling .. .glad I googled it!

Text of email was: "Thanks for your reply,i just wanted to make sure all bases are covered !I'm satisfied with the condition but how long have you owned it?? and what's your lowest price for it. I love a bargain, so i would like to get it as soon as i can.I would be able to make payment through paypal, i find it the easiest way to use my credit card safely and is a safe and reliable method of payment... Let me know your price for it .I hope to hear from you soon, and i will make all transportation preparations for the it to be transported to my home."

Well, it appears Emily is a busy gal! Just got this response for a pool table!

Thanks for the response Does it need anything to be replace or repair?if theirs please specify,i will take it for the listed price,Payment will be sent using PayPal and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well.I will arrange with someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i am out of town at the moment. I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too,since i won't be be able to see this in person,what's the PayPal email to send funds to in order for me to pay you ASAP.

Word for word the same message! Not sure how the fraud works? They want a PayPal email so obviously they can somehow access the personal information from that information?Thanks for the heads up, I am on my way to delete the communication!The old adage appears to be true "if it sounds too good to be true, it is!"Cheers!

This Emily must have a lot of free time on her hands. I she has just been in touch with me, too. Odd that she is interested in purchasing furniture at 2:56 a.m. I just copied and pasted these pages to her email accounts and asked her to "explain".

I have also been scammed by this scam creep. I went as far as setting up a PayPal account (although I felt something was not quite right) and then when "she" sent the mailing info it said Nigeria and she wanted the answers to my confidential questions. I immediately deleted the pay pal accounts, changed all my passwords and contacted Pay Pal for investigation. I now am getting bogus invoices from "her" saying I owe her $600 and the FBI will be investigation and charging me if I don't pay up. What a piece of work this "Emily" is. Add Keshia David to this list as well.

Yes, Keshia David is the latest name to add, "she" is trying to purchase furniture from me as we speak. I just sent her a legit paypal invoice, and I'm waiting for the reply where she claims she needs some extra payment...is it wrong to toy with these people?

I've received many of these emails in the past as I move a lot of products thru Toronto Kijiji. Last night I received and email from "Emily Syntire <emilysyntire123@gmail.com" asking the standard cut and paste bad spelling/bad grammar request for my PayPal account info. I contacted the Toronto Internet Fraud division but they said there is nothing they can do about it. What the fuck do you mean there is nothing they can do about it I asked! It's fraud, and it's on the internet.

MAYBE IF PEOPLE START CALLING THE POLICE THEY WILL BE FORCED TO DO THEIR JOBS AND CATCH THESE MOTHERFUCKERS!

Contacted by emily syntire and exceeding grace. Checked them both out on Facebook and found out that they were scammers. We contacted Paypal and they told us to forward any information about them to:spoof@paypall.com.Thanks for the heads up about these assholes.

Another Scam by Emily Syntire : emilysyntire0101@gmail.com)Here is what she wrote:Thanks for the response Does it need anything to be replace or repair?if theirs please specify,i will take it for the listed price,Payment will be sent using PayPal and i will handle the PayPal surcharge as well.I will arrange with someone to have this picked up for your location once i have paid as i am out of town at the moment.

same thing occurred to me few days ago...here is the email from the illiterate Emily Syntire who need s to take English as a second language to improve her writing capabilities..here is her petty fraudulent email...

It is important we know the status of the merchandise bought from you by one of our clients, Emily Syntire with Transaction ID:9XR6056157684563M, otherwise legal action will be taken against you since you have not e-mailed us the western union money transfer information and scanned receipt of the western union money transfer.

We believed you entered into agreement by requesting money through PayPal from the buyer, and by not e-mailing us with the details of the western union money transfer information, you are violating PayPal users agreement in act of the 1999 Law in collaboration with the World Law Enforcement Agency.

You are now mandated to transfer the sum of $1,100.00 CAD to the buyer's shipping company as part of the amount to send and email us the proof of transfer within the next 24hrs, failure to do so would result to the involvement of the FBI for violating PayPal's instructions and users agreement in act of the 1999 Law in collaboration with the World Law Enforcement Agency.

We are ensuring to make Online Transaction a safer place, therefore we need to set confidence on all our users.

We request for the western union money transfer information from or western union Money to prove the transfer has been made within the next 24hrs and we will fund the money into your account or you will face the consequences of LEGAL ACTION.

This is done for the protection of both the seller and buyer from the ongoing internet fraud activities.

Also add Angelina Paul and Jane Herich...Exact texts,,word for word...living far away..pay by paypal. I'm smart enough to get it quickly, but I worry about elderly people who might fall prey to these jerks. So a word of warning...if your mom or pops need anything sold, sell it for them so they don't fall victims to a$$holes like these....

First I got a text asking if I still had the furniture for sale from phone number 1 514 416 8985, and if so could I email her at janeherich1@outlook.com (the furniture is about 60 10 ft pews) I said yes and sent her a video link where they are posted on youtube. She responded.Jane Herich (janeherich1@outlook.com)Add to contacts10:28 AM[Keep this message at the top of your inbox]what is your price ? Jane Herich (janeherich1@outlook.com)Add to contacts10:28 AMwhat is your price ? $400 each Carl Hayden - Carls AquariumHi, I am Jane Herich. I'm satisfied with the price and i really want to buy it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Cape Breton. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it. Since i'd not be seeing the item before i purchase it, i would like you to send some recent pictures of its present state to be sure you still have it and its in good condition. If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay.... Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks.. ( I was happy until I got to the line about Pay Pal)Did you watch the video, when you see one you like see what time it is in the video and and I can stop by and take a bunch of pictures of the specific one you are interested in, we are not setup for pay pal, we do email money transfers instead. She sent back, I can only do paypal. I sent back. Emails from people who will not do EMT and will only do pay pal are always fraudulent that is why we only do EMT

I have just had a text message from number +61 427 344 672 and an email from colemary01@outlook.com offering to buy furniture that I had for sale on Gumtree. I have now reported this woman to Gumtree and SCAMWatch!!

Just was approached by Jane Herich, using email address and SMS/phone number 514-437-0341

Here is the email sent:

I just got a text from "Parker" tel. number 843-405-4462, wanting to buy my piano and have it shipped from Ontario to South Carolina!!!! We texted back and forth for a bit, but I still wasn't quite comfortable about the distance. This is the first time I have used kijiji and only just found out from my daughter that it is a local buyer/seller setup, so then I obviously got suspicious and sent "Parker" a text saying I sold the piano locally. I thought because they were talking of payment through Pay Pal that it was legit, but I guess the scammers have found some way around that too.

Jane Herich again here with number 514-437-1333. With email below. have just completed the payment and you must have been notified in your email about the payment i made Via PayPal,Kindly check your e-mail inbox/junk/spam folder for confirmation of payment, I transferred a total sum of $12,585.00 Inclusive of the Shipping charges.I added the amount of $1,085.00 paid Via PayPal, you will have to send $985.00 as an Upfront Payment to the Pick Up agent via Money Gram so they can make arrangements for the pick up date and exchange time Officially.NOTE: PayPal won't credit the funds until they receive the Money Gram information from you due to Transaction Safety Tips regarding excess payments made for the Pick Up/Shipping charges.I will need you to send the $985.00 to the Agency Headquarters where they confirm all commission payments via Money Gram Money Transfer, this can be done from any post office as they usually have Money Gram outlets there, the additional $100.00 was added to cover the Money Gram Transfer Sending Fee charged to send MoneyThis is the shipping address you have to send the money to ;-

I replied its still for sale, then text asking me how much I want, where I live and what is my phone number. I got suspicious and googled the name which led me here. Thank you for taking the time to post about this scammer.

Same here with KATE JOHNSON regarding a table I put on Kijiji. "She" wanted to buy it for her son but lived in Yukon and was unable to view it at my place.

She sent me a money gram link with instructions on how to pay her 500$ upfront. When I declined, a young male with a foreign accent (claiming he was Kate's husband) CALLED MY HOUSE to insist on the transaction!

So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it. Since i'd not be seeing the item before i purchase it, i would like you to send some recent pictures of its present state to be sure you still have it and its in good condition. If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay.... Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks.

I don't beleive it is trustable, I don't touch this.... This email is too similar to the one of Candy !!! A piece of farm tractor for a girl, possible but weird ...

Thank you so much for your comments! I've just received a text from JANE HERICH 514-437-1061 janeherich12@outlook.com at 6:42 AM. "Hi, do you still have your furniture for sale? Me and my husband are interested, please email me back at janeherich12@outlook.com."

Lisa Johnson (lisajohnson9333@hotmail.com) - 613-917-8017Texted me asking if my "baby item on Kijiji AD was still for sale."I thought it was fishy that she typed 'baby item' instead of 'stroller.'Looks like I was right.

Angelina Paul..that b***h. I dont have paypal and got suspicious after her 2nd email but I gave her my cell number and house address. Now im worried! Could they possibly run their scam with the info I gave? :(

Hi, I am Jane Herich. I'm satisfied with the price and i really want to buy it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Cape Breton. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it.

After a couple of replies, and an unanswered call to her phone (514-416-9209) it was obvious (he) she was a scammer.

Just got the Jane Herich one. First red flag was Cape Bretton. Why would you ship that far. But one I said I would take more pics of the item. The response was Since the pics are recent I will send money. "Uhm I said I would send... ok, robot responder". So that's when I typed in her name sure this would come up.

Just had the same experience here with herlenethomas@outlook.com. If you receive a text message from them saying they are interested in buying some stuff from you on Kijiji and asking to send them an email to herlenethomas@outlook.com, don't respond to it this is a huge arnack.

Hey everyone. I received an email this morning from a "Herlene Thomas", inquiring about a bedroom set I put on sale through Kijiji Montreal. I was very excited because this was the first response I had gotten. She texted asking to email her on herlenethomas@outlook.com, if the pieces were still available. I did and she wrote back;"I'm satisfied with the price and i really want to buy it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Halifax. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it.

If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay.... Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks"So when I came back from work, I took the new pics and sent them to her. While I was waiting for the response, out of curiosity, I googled her name. Don't know why, I guess I just wanted to see who I was speaking with lol but anyhow I found this page and I'm glad I did. What a scam!!! I'm actually pretty disappointed, but I should have known sooner. She texted with a Montreal area code (514-416-4022), but apparently lives in Halifax lol? Should have pieced it together sooner, but thanks to this thread, I'm saved! I hope no one falls for this scam and btw she's emailed me twice asking for my paypal info :| Stay aware friends!

Further to the one above, they provided me with a photograph of a Nova Scotia Drivers licence for an Angelina PAUL. When comparing same to a real NS drivers licence they forgot to place a signature under the photo, there is no expiry date and the date of birth is listed in two places....and you guessed it they were not the same. One 1966-11-07 and one 1966-06-20. Then in the email portion I was given the phone number of her husband 920-309-6695 (according to my search this number is listed in De Perre Wisconsin - with Verizon Wireless; but in another area the number is claimed for India). the email used is angelinapaul2002@outlook.com

Scammed by Herlene ThomasI got this text message for my kijiji ad, and was suspicious cause it was not sent to my email:"hi, do you still have your furniture on kijiji for sale? Its urgently needed please email me back at (herlenethomas@outlook.com)"The 'urgently' is also strange.Thanks for this site !

just got contacted in the past weeks but no transaction ended up happening but the name was lucy davidson, email lucydavidson01@outlook.com the number was 514-437-2513 same number used by the so called Jane Herich

when i got the following email from Kate Johnson, I questioned"story its for my son and I'm in the Yukon". i goggled the phone number that text me and it was a land line in Quebec

found a similar story litsted on this site

sad that people fall for this, people need to be careful with dealing with people site unseen some times its too good to be true

Looks like Angelina Paul has switched it up to Helen Paul now helenpaul001@outlook.com..she first texted me with the same 514 area code # which she did not respond to my text she asked me to email her, even thought she could have emailed me via my ad. I knew it was to easy, seems she's gotten a little lazy lol

Here's what she wrote :

I'm satisfied with it and i'm really interested in buying it. I would have love to come to view it tomorrow, but My place is away far, we just moved to New Glasgow.. So i thought to use a courier company, to pickup the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account. The pickup Agent will be coming for the pick up. So I will forward it to the shipping company to calculate the cost of pick up for me. I'll be waiting for the address where the item is, so i can send it to my Pickup Agent for the calculation of there fees and i'm sure they will get back to me soon. So about the payment i will like the payment to be made via PayPal online secure payment .. Please get back to me with this Information as well.

Great site - GREAT SITEGot a text mssg from AngelinaPaul101@outlook.com using (604) 343-9830. Did not know about this name so I sent an email as "she" requested. Noticed the echange is in Vancouver British Columbia and specified this was an "in person only" sale. Haven't hear back yet.

Angelina Paul (same email address and phone number) is pregnant and lives in Whitehorse, Yukon. She wants to buy my old car. Hum... I live in Montreal!!?! "Someone will come and will pick it up for me". No comments, except this: thank you to whoever started this forum!

Hi, Angelina Paul is at it again........this time says she is from Nova Scotia.......but uses a 614 area code (Columbus, OH) and the number is 614-321-7147. I wonder if they realize how many international laws they have broken. Stealing from honest hardworking people......Disgusting!

Got a reply from this so called Angelina Paul wanting my car. Her E-mail is angelinapaul101@outlook.com. Said she was from Yukon and pregnant. Cell phone number came from Missouri. The number was 417-374-0896. Beware of her folks!

I just got the same text but from a 440 area code, around the Cleveland area some 3 hour drive from me. Here it is:

Hi, do you still have your furniture for sale? Me and my husband are interested, please email me back at angelinapaul111@outlook.com

Knowing it's a scam I replied with "Yes, it's available but I'm not shipping it to Cleveland". I also called and left a message but the voicemail said the number (440) 925-5852 was an extension. Beware! and thank you for having this site!!!

Oh my....received the exact same cut & paste email this morning....it just didn't feel right...so glad i looked into it.The number was a 440 area code.....

Got the exact long-winded email from Angelina Paul (angelinapaul111@outlook.com) that others have posted above. Living in Halifax; will have a courier company pick it up; let me know your opinion; blah blah blah.

Thanks to everyone who posted about this fraudster! I thought it was fishy, and then saw this blog. Now I have confirmation. Be vigilant!

I also had a reply from Angelina Paul angelinapaul111@outlook.com 514.416.4878 saying her and her husband are interested and asking if the furniture was still for sale. Also, asking for an address so she can come for the viewing. Thankfully we didn't give our address. But this one didn't give as much suspicious information in the inquiry, so I thought people should know if they are using a different angle now.

BE AWARE! Just received a similar text and corresponding email from someone named Jonathan Adams (phone: +1-206-582-6429; email: jonathan_adams01@contractor.net).

He said he was interested in buying my furniture, and then asked me to take down my ad to enable him to make payment. I thought it was suspicious, asked him to e-transfer the money before I took down the ad, and this is what he responded:

"I would have love to come for the viewing and make Payment by cash but can't make it due to the distance and am very busy for the next two to three weeks here in the site we are having a building setting up i'm located 1035 Beaverhill Boulevard, Winnipeg, MB R2J 3R2, Canada. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion to use a courier company to pick up the King bed from your place after confirming the money in your account. The Courier Transport agents will be coming for the pick up. So I will email the pictures and the address to the courier transport head office for calculation of there fee and i'm sure they will get back to me soon. So about the payment i will like the payment to be done via PayPal online E-mail Transfer Payment .. Because am using a merchant business Paypal account Transfer is instant fast and secure means Please get back to me with this Information to enable me proceed with the payment.1.Your PayPal Full Name.2.Your Paypal E-mail address.3.Your phone number.4.Remove the post on kijiji2045159553Thank you"

Angelina Paul is still alive and not caught. I just posted her email above couple minutes ago and it is identical to the someone posted here before. I also received a text from 1(514)416-4958 which is the same as some one posted here before as well:Hi, do you still have your furniture for sales? Me and my husband are interested, please email me back at angelinapaul1111@outlook.com

I have also just heard from Angelina Paul too. Glad I saw this - it just wasn't sitting right with me!

Her emails:

Hey, we just moved here and we need couple of furniture, so what are the things you have for sale and give me their prices....

and then

Okay good where are you located so that i can come for the viewing?

and then:

Hi, I am Angelina Paul. I'm satisfied with the price of this particular item and i'm really interested in buying it. I would have love to come for the viewing by the weekend, but My place is way too far from there in which i am located in Halifax Nova Scotia. So i thought of how to make this transaction work between us, which i came to conclusion with my husband to use a courier company to pick up the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account, the pick up company will come to help us carry it. Since i'd not be seeing the item before i purchase it, i would like you to send some recent pictures of its present state to be sure you still have it and its in good condition. If the pictures pleases me, then we can go ahead with the transaction and will send the money to you without delay.... Lest i forget, i would be transferring the funds to you through PayPal. Please reply with your opinion ASAP Thanks.Angelina............

I'm satisfied with it and i'm really interested in buying it. I would have love to come to view it today, but My place is away far, we just moved to Halifax. So i thought to use a courier company, to pickup the item from your place but we will send the money to your account first and after you get the money in your account. The pickup Agent will be coming for the pick up. So I will forward it to the shipping company to calculate the cost of pick up for me. I'll be waiting for the address where the item is, so i can send it to my Pickup Agent for the calculation of there fees and i'm sure they will get back to me soon. So about the payment i will like the payment to be made via PayPal online secure payment .. Please get back to me with this Information as well.1.The price.2.Your PayPal Full Name.3.Your Paypal E-mail address.4.Your phone number.Best Regards.

So sad that there are people in the world like this. Although, I am very happy there are sites like this one to at least inform people of these scammers.

Got somewhat similar proposition from Angelina Paul. She or he or they answered my ad for furniture I'm sellling and wanted shipped Halifax, Nova Scotia. Still active in Montreal.

Listed my vehicle for sale on kijiji, got a text from (951)465-8269 asking me to email joeyhopman931@live.com if the vehicle was still for sale. I emailed him and questioned why he was texting me from california. I got this reply:

I was only thinking you must have had some other buyer's interested in buying it from you, So i thought the best way to outbid them is by offering an additional $800 bucks to your asking price on the add. I'll not be able to come for the inspection my self due to present Job location but i have a Pick-Up agent who will be contacting you about when and where the pick-up will be taking place after have completed the payment transaction with you my self . I'm actually willing to purchase it right away and be transported to Ontario where my parents reside, Please tell me a little bit more about the present mechanical condition and how often you do the service and the history then we can take it from there. waiting to read from you and if we can come to a quick agreement i will proceed with the payment

-->I emailed him back that I only do cash transactions. He sent me this reply:

Am very much interested in buying it from you right away so you don't have to look around for any other buyer and before i can send it sent it home for use i have to make sure the its in a good condition and i hope you understand my point because there is no way i come to do the inspection my self, It will be picked by an agent and be transported it to my Parents in Ontario and based on trust whatever you tell me about the good and the bad aspect is what i will believe and also inform the Pick-up agent and after have completed the payment and you have received your cash in hand the agent will contact you about where and when the pick up will take place and they will also be of assistance to do the change of ownership when they get there. but before i proceed with the Payment is there is any problem which you're yet to mention that i should know ?, if not then please do REMOVE the add online now till i have completed the transaction . And please send me your PAYPAL EMAIL for payment and i will complete the Payment right right away

Hi, Am happy to read back from you, I was actually thinking you must have had some other buyer's interested in buying it from you, So i thought the best way to outbid them is by offering an additional $800 on-top your own asking price on the Kijiji add lol. To start with, I'll not be able to come for the inspection my self due to my present Location right now but have got a Pick-Up agent who will be contacting you about when and where the pick-up will be taking place from you , but that will be after have completed the Payment Transaction by my self you to you. I'm willing to purchase it right away and it will be transported to Ontario where my parents reside,so you don't have to look around for any other buyer, but before anything i have to make sure its in a good condition as it is on the Kijiji add and i hope you understand my point because there is no way i come to do the inspection my self But am so happy with all the details i read about it on line. Is any other problem which you're yet to mention on the add that i should know ?, if not then please do REMOVE the add online right now till have made the Payment

Email used is karrenfred2@outlook.com who claims to be from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia with a California phone number of 415-548-7589 and last but not the least a money gram name of David Wooten from South Carolina. Talk about really fishy situation.

In summary the person wants me to send money first to a "shipping" company using a nicely composed email from "onlinepaypalservice@yahoo.com".

Name: David WootenAddress: 297 Industrial DrCity: LexingtonState: South CarolinaZipcode: 29073Country: United States

Here is the nicely composed email scam:
